Metro Ligero Oeste (MLO) has signed a comprehensive overhaul contract with Alstom to perform essential mid-life upgrades to its fleet of Citadis trams in Madrid, Spain.
This agreement covers 27 Alstom Citadis trams, in service since 2007, and will ensure ongoing quality, safety, and reliability.
Specifically, Alstom will carry out an overhaul of critical components, including braking systems, bogies (both motor and trailer), circuit breakers, vehicle couplings, inter-car shock absorbers, and the emergency brake control units.
“This agreement with Alstom Spain reaffirms our confidence in a key partner for the reliable operation of our service. It not only optimises our maintenance processes but also reinforces our commitment to safety and quality in delivering continuous service to our passengers.”
Alstom’s industrial site in Pinto, Madrid, will manage the engineering, testing, and final approval of all components.
The work will be divided into two phases and will span from January 2025 to 2029.
“We thank Metro Ligero Oeste for renewing its confidence in Alstom Spain. Our entire team, from our centres in Madrid, is dedicated to supporting operators and passengers with sustainable, safe, and smart mobility solutions that prioritise inclusivity and community welfare.”
